The South African delegation comprising of eighteen businesses have arrived in Taiwan for the second leg of the Outward Selling and Investment Mission (OSIM) supported by the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti).

The OSIM which started in Thailand will continue in the City of Taipei from today till Friday 1 August 2014.

The OSIM aims to assist in building relationships between South African and Taiwanese companies and increasing knowledge of both markets over an extended period of time.

The business delegation will again participate in various business-to-business meetings, site visits and trade and investment seminars.

Welcoming the business delegates to Taiwan, the South African Head of Mission in Taiwan, Mr Musawenkosi Aphane said trading and investment opportunities were plenty in Taiwan.

“”The minimum availability of natural resources in Taiwan creates an opportunity for most businesses to seek ventures in Taiwan, especially in the co-operation of small businesses, agro-processing and Special Economic Zones.” He said.

He also encouraged all sectors to make use of this opportunity and learn from their business counterparts in Taiwan.

Sectors targeted for this OSIM are agro-processing, jewellery and automotive components sectors.
